Eroticon 2018: I wanna be more you

We live in anxious times, soundtracked by the constant, incessant ping of phones and laptops. Notifications are everywhere, bleeping and flashing and demanding a response. So how do we deal with it?

So with good and bad, selfish and silly and paranoid and everything in between, here are a few reasons I have not replied to your message.
